A RESPONSE TO ‘COMPARING SOCIAL SECURITY PROVISION IN THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF IRELAND’, BY CIARA F I TZPAT RICK AN D CHARLES O’SU LLI VAN
Brexit can be considered a ‘critical juncture’ that has already set in motion enduring legacies for Ireland, including facilitating the call for a referendum on a united Ireland within a 5–10-year period, something that the architects of the Good Friday Agreement would not have felt possible within their lifetimes.[1]
The overall reliance of the north on financial subvention from London leaves the region weak in the wake of Brexit but the scale of the subvention begs the question, can the Irish republic afford the north in a unified Ireland?3 It is against this background that Fitzpatrick and O’Sullivan turn attention away from the constitutional consequences of Brexit to the ‘bread and butter’ implications of the post-Brexit world by focusing on how both welfare systems could operate within a united Ireland framework
